SebastiaanH97 Funny how lots of reviews have high scores and they say the fight scenes were great. Honestly, the fight scenes were so incredibly mediocre and slow I didn't see anything great about it. If you compare this to movies like The Raid, Ong Bak, Ip Man etc. You would be thinking the same as I do and I bet you those people didn't see the movies listed above and lots of other good fight movies.Speaking of the Raid, what a disgrace they didn't show more of Iko Uwais. Such a waste to let one of the best martial artist of today, almost do nothing in a fighting movie. Anyway, I give this movie a 6/10.

ssjkid97 "You owe me a life!" Okay, let's get this out of the way: this movie is cheesy. Big time. A lot of the performances (aside from the actor of Tiger and Keanu Reeves) are pretty cheesy. But you know what? That's okay, because 'Man of Tai Chi' is incredibly entertaining. The fighting scenes are incredibly well-choreographed and the action is unbelievably well- delivered. The tension in each action scene, on top of the fact that our skilled protagonist is still vulnerable, really adds to the overall quality of the film. The tone is completely scattered and you'll certainly walk out of the film confused, but the movie has a lasting quality that allows for re-watches. A solid martial arts flick.

Robin Turner Just like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was Ang Lee's tribute to wuxia films, Man of Tai Chi is Keanu Reeves' tribute to 1980s chop sockey films. It's nowhere in the same league as Crouching Tiger, but it's still fun. It has all the tropes you'd expect: young ambitious student, wise old master, old temple, illegal fight club, different styles lined up against each other, using the Force, going over to the Dark Side ... uh, hang on, I'm getting my genres mixed up here.My main gripe with the film is that there wasn't enough t'ai chi in it. There's some nice pushing hands in a training scene near the beginning, and Tiger strikes a few t'ai chi poses (though why anyone would adopt Single Whip as an opening stance, I have no idea), but most of his fighting is the usual acrobatic film fu. If the aim of the character, and presumably the director, is to show that t'ai chi is a fighting method and not just a mystical-looking exercise, then it's counter-productive to abandon it as soon as a serious fight starts.All in all, if you enjoyed classics like Bloodsport, you'll get your money's worth out of Man of Tai Chi. Just don't expect anything deep; this is just Keanu Reeves having fun with a genre he loves.

sH343 This movie both fails western and eastern quality standards. The plot just makes no sense. It looks like a bulwark of redundant pictures, which were fabricated to deliver a message we have already got from a lot of other genre defining movies (e.g. Bruce Lees movies). Sry, Keanu you just can't mess with those. Keanu Reeves acting seems bloodless. The police is boring. The main actor is good, but his character is just as stupid as the plot. This kind of trash should not get multimillion dollar funding, it should be done with a couple of thousand dollars. What a waste. There were a lot of Kungfu movies in the 70ies that lived from the passion and the new ideas of the crew and the actors. This one is scripted from beginning to end and there is just no passion of spontaneity in there.
